Sortly is designed primarily for business inventory taking, but it’s also possible to use it for home organization purposes. Here’s how to get started.

-
In the “A bit about your inventory” page, tap “Why are you using Sortly to Track?” select Cataloging personal items, and tap Done.

Tap “What category of items are you tracking?” and select your item type. You can select multiple item types at a time. Tap Done to confirm.
-
Once you’re happy with the selection, tap Next.
Sortly is available on iOS and Android. While Sortly can be used for free with access to important features like item photos, custom tags, and inventory lists, you can only list a maximum of 100 items, which may not cover your entire home. But, the free tier can still be useful if you’re only planning to use it for an inventory of a single room, like the kitchen or garage.
Alternatively, you can probably splurge on the Ultra plan ($59/month) to monitor up to 10,000 items. The paid plan will cover super useful solutions for inventory management of fast-moving consumer goods that you need to replace regularly, such as low stock alerts, item check-in/check-out, and QR code label generation. Sortly has discounted plans for yearly subscriptions, as well as a 14-day free trial for new users.
